Hello everyone. We know you’ve waited a while for some updates and we have good news. We’ve really been working hard to put things in place and get everything ready for a smooth release and we can tell you that you’ll love what we’ve cooked.

CryptoBarons was selected as one of the finalists for alto.io Cryptogame challenge and the demo version of the game has already been sent for review. Let me tell you a little secret about it… sshhh!! Don’t tell anyone yet. Its awesome; you can purchase ERC 721 cryptoassets and … Yes!!! you can fight battles Since our last update, we have made a number of modifications in our game design, logo, gameplay etc. to bridge the gap between blockchain games and everyday games that can be downloaded on Google Playstore and Apple App Store.The game is quite interactive and soon enough, you would be able to compete with your friends when playing the game.

CRYPTOBARONS — BARONS AWAKENING

Over 3,000 years ago, there existed the era of Barons who were an unstoppable force in war and had an unbreakable bond between them.While the Barons enjoyed their victory over the Banditians (Kingdom of thieves) in the cool of the night, Sparda poisoned their drinks and sent them into a deep sleep. While the Barons slept, Sparda harvested their souls as sacrifice to the dark lord Amheh.

This is the intro story for the mini-game which we have released as a preamble to the Main version of the game which will be released much later in October this year. In this mini-game you can buy the game assets such as Soldiers, Workers, Farm, Gold mine, Defence mechanisms, Barracks etc. You can gather food, wood and even upgrade your assets too. All these game assets you have purchased in mini-game will also be available when the Main version of the game is launched, by the power of the blockchain.

Cryptocurrencies or magic internet money, anything you wish to call it, is fast becoming the future of online trading. How long will it be in play??? That’s still a huge debate amongst developers but one thing is certain and that’s the need for more crypto-bound apps!

With increasing online transactions, there is a massive need for platforms enabling easy payment and receipt for services provided and also for swift transferability… Still wondering where WiCrypt comes in?

The Kin Developer Program, is a modelled initiative that will empower developers to successfully create KIN-powered apps, or build KIN-powered experiences into their existing apps with more than 200 developers from over 37 countries around the world proposing new and innovative use cases for KIN over the past few months, with WiCrypt, a product of Ugarsoft Limited being 1 out of the 40 selected finalists in the KIN Developer Program.

WiCrypt enables its users to get paid while sharing their WiFi (Now tell me what beats that, really!). The app is so unique, it allows peer-to-peer internet sharing, giving you your deserved reward for sharing your mobile data. Users can easily purchase a connection to a WiCrypt hotspot using KIN while the hosts will earn KIN in return for providing internet connection. And when you think it’s all over…BOOM! Users get to receive bonuses for high ratings from those who have used their internet connection. (Now I’m certain nothing beats that!).

WiCrypt (which by now I guess you already know is the first of its kind), leverages the Blockchain and allows users to receive payments per kilobyte of their WiFi data consumed by a beneficiary, allowing the user having the freedom to set desired price per kilobyte of data consumed. The app which is an inbuilt wallet will verify the beneficiary has enough cryptocurrency to start using the service and automatically disconnects the beneficiary when the money is exhausted.

With WiCrypt, the problems of expensive internet services, unavailability of service from service providers at specific locations, unavailability of internet services for tourists and underutilization of abundant internet connection by Individuals/Companies that do not exhaust their excess data or have unlimited internet connection have all been solved.

Russia, Russia, Russia! This country has been mentioned side by side with the words “World Cup” in recent times (by the way, congrats to France on lifting the trophy). However, as goals were being scored and clear cut chances thrown away, a certain number of people from various nations but of course with like-minds were assembling in Russia, and it wasn’t to see Paul Pogba lift the trophy but rather for the Nevosoft sponsored International Business Conference for Game Industry at the White Night in the green beautiful city of St. Petersburg.

The conference which takes place three times a year has had its first two editions at Berlin and St. Petersburg respectively, with the next stop being Moscow later in the year. The White Night event literally was a “White Night” (means the night never got completely dark, so most of the period of the night, which should be dark was bright just like daytime; had something to do with the season and the geolocation of that area). Amazing… I know right!

The event attracted influential professionals and top managers in the gaming sector with more than 4,000 gamers in attendance. As expected, our Cryptobarons team was there live together with Industry-leading companies like Supercell, Rovio, Big Fish, Wargaming, Pixonic, Facebook, Google and many others.

On arrival we were treated to a Welcome party, creating an atmosphere for fun and creative interaction between like-minds, breeding a scenario to explain the technology behind the game; Cryptobarons, to other blockchain developers, gamers and tech enthusiasts who were excited to see how the first 3D Interactive Game built on the Ethereum Blockchain.

Well, one can’t have a conference or an assembly of influential people without having camera flashes here and there… The paparazzi wasn’t to be left out as they, in their own unique way helped to spice up the event. Don’t know about you but I do love me some attention.*winks*

The feedback we got from gamers, developer and even publishers as well as app promoters was amazing and still remains a huge boost. It was a wonderful experience and we won’t hesitate to attend the next big crypto/gaming conference we are invited to. I’m really overwhelmed typing this, can’t wait to be in Moscow come November… Till then; “Я люблю тебя, россия, и я не могу дождаться тебя скоро.”

Tadaa!!! The big announcement dropped yesterday. CryptoBarons has successfully partnered with Opskins and WAX. The game assets such as magic potions, farms, market, armies etc., which are also Crypto collectibles, will be available on OPSkins™, the world’s leading marketplace for online video game assets, and will be tradable with WAX Tokens, Bitcoin, ETH, US dollars, Euros and dozens of other currencies.

We are really excited about the development as this game is set to break new records in Blockchain gaming. CryptoBarons is a decentralized application, but on the Ethereum Network, and is one of the few massive multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG) based on blockchain technology. It has taken a lot of time to develop and we are very close to launch.

The official trailer of the game will be released very soon, but meanwhile you can view small video demo of the gameplay below. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what to expect when the game is launched.

We’ll soon start the airdrop of Baron tokens for our first subscribers to play the game. You can subscribe here to get Baron Tokens for free. The Market Presale starts on Friday May 25th. Be sure to get as many assets as you can because the items will be sold at a discount before the full game launch in June.

Stay tuned for more updates. Be sure to join the discussion on Telegram and also Discord where you can ask questions about the game and what to expect. See you anon!!!

So far we have been testing the gameplay and we’re pleased to announce that the game will be launched very soon. And if the above screenshot doesn’t wow you yet, we’ll give you jaw-dropping sneak peak videos from the gameplay.

A short intro. Currently, crypto-games existing now are mainly collectible games that allow you purchase digital tokens which you can sell at a later time. Well… how much fun is that? Now, just take a moment, relax and breathe. Imagine yourself playing a 3D action filled game which actually runs on the blockchain. You don’t even need to know what Ethereum is or how to install Metamask. Just the pure gaming experience. And what’s more… it’ll be available on Web, Android and iOS platforms too. Let me hear you say yeah yeah!!!
